Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 344 The Battle Across the River
Cheng Pu took a step forward and said, "My lord, I still think Yuan Shu is deceitful and cannot be trusted."

Sun Jian snorted coldly and said, "De Mou's words are wrong. I want to avenge myself. What has that to do with Yuan Shu?"

Sun Jing, Sun Jian's younger brother, stepped forward and remonstrated: "Nowadays the world is in chaos and the feudal lords dominate one side. Changsha is a peaceful place. It is not appropriate to raise a large army with a small hatred. I hope my elder brother will think about it."

Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "A man wants to rule the world, how can he stay in one corner? If he wants to rule the world, how can he not take revenge?"

"If father must go, son is willing to go with him!" A young man flashed out from the side and said.

Sun Jian turned his head and saw that it was his eldest son, Sun Ce, who is now fifteen or sixteen years old. .

"Haha, it turned out to be my family's Sun Lang. Well, then Zhao Qian is young and promising, and my family's Sun Lang is even more young and promising!" Sun Jian laughed.

Veterans such as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai also looked at Sun Ce with some affection. His growth was the result of their joint training.

Looking at the generals under his command, Sun Jian shouted, "Where is Huang Gai?"

"The last general obeys the order!" Huang Gai stepped forward and said.

Sun Jian looked at Huang Gai, and said: "Order you to go to the river first, prepare warships, prepare a lot of food, grass and weapons, and load troops and horses on the big ships, so that the army can be resuscitated soon!"

"Order!"

Huang Gai took the order and left, and went to the riverside to prepare.

The news of Sun Jian's attack quickly reached Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Liu Biao was shocked and hurriedly gathered civil and military soldiers to discuss.

"Everyone, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha and the general who broke the captives, doesn't want to stabilize and guard the land, but raises troops to invade. What do you do?" Liu Biao asked.

Cai Hao frowned, and said: "Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger. When he attacked Dong Zhuo, he was extremely brave and famous all over the world. You should not underestimate him."

Kuai Liang took a step forward and said, "My lord, don't worry too much. Now, Huang Zu can lead the troops of Jiangxia as the vanguard, and my lord can lead the people of Jingxiang to help. Sun Jian came across the river and across the lake. Although he is brave, how can he use force?"

Hearing Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao calmed down a bit, and said, "Zirou's words made my heart a little bit calmer. Degui, immediately order someone to inform Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu to lead the troops to stop Sun Jian."

"Follow the lord's order!" Cai Mao responded.

Liu Biao nodded and said, "De Gui and Wen Nuo, gather the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou to face Sun Jian!"

"Decree!" Cai Mao and Zhang Yun replied in response.

A few days later, Sun Jian led the generals to the boat prepared by Huang Gai by the river, and sailed in the direction of Jiangxia.

"My lord, on the other side of the river is the border of Jiangxia, we still need to take precautions against Huang Zu's sneak attack." Cheng Pu said.

Sun Jian nodded, and said: "Huang Zu has a violent temper, he has no plan, no judgment, no evidence, Huang Gai obeys orders!"

"The end is here!" Huang Gai stepped forward.

"I ordered you to take more than a dozen small boats to patrol the riverside. The soldiers should stay in the boats and not move lightly. They just go to and fro to confuse Huang Zu." Sun Jian said.

"Order!"

So Huang Gai led his men to drive the boat, and when they approached the opposite bank, they cruised back and forth.

On the other side of the river, Huang Zu had ambushed the crossbowmen and waited for Sun Jian's ships. When he saw Huang Gai's fleet, he ordered to shoot them without thinking.

Huang Zu's soldiers got Huang Zu's order and only focused on shooting arrows. At the end of the day, they shot all the arrows.

Sun Jian ordered the soldiers to pull out all the arrows on the boat. A rough estimate showed that there were tens of thousands of arrows.

Just at this moment, the wind direction changed, which happened to be favorable for Sun Jian, so Sun Jian ordered the soldiers to shoot back all the arrows they had obtained.

Because of the wind, the strength and range of the arrows were increased. The bowmen ambush on the shore were not covered by the hull, and many of them were killed immediately. The other soldiers couldn't resist and retreated one after another.

"All officers and men obey the order and go ashore!" Sun Jian shouted loudly.

The soldiers were driving the boats and leaning against the shore. After disembarking, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai immediately split into two groups and surrounded Huang Zu's camp.

Huang Zu drove his troops to resist, a moment later, Han Dang and Sun Ce came from behind again, and the three armies came to attack, Huang Zu couldn't resist, abandoned the camp, and retreated into Dengcheng.

Sun Jian said: "Grand Fu leads people to guard the ship, and the rest of the soldiers follow me to pursue Huang Zu."

So Huang Gai stayed behind to guard the ship, while Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others followed Sun Jian and continued on their way.

Five miles away from Dengcheng, Sun Jian set up camp, led his troops to the foot of Dengcheng, and ordered people to scold them.

Huang Zu had no choice but to organize the soldiers and horses in Dengcheng, and led Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng out of the city to face each other.

"Little Huang Zu, how does it feel to be shot by your own arrow? Haha!" Sun Jian laughed loudly, and then the sergeants behind him also roared with laughter.

Huang Zu's face turned red, he raised his whip and cursed loudly: "You son of a bitch, Sun Jian, how dare you invade the clan realm of our Han family?"

"Clan of the Han family?" Sun Jian said with a sneer, "I am following the emperor's order to beg you, why don't you get off your horse and ask for your surrender?"

Huang Zu was furious, and said: "Zhang Hu, go out and take down this traitor for me!"

Zhang Hu glanced sideways at Huang Zu, and thought: This Sun Jian is known as Jiangdong Tiger, how can I be his opponent?

However, despite the slander, Zhang Hu still fought with his guns. After all, if he didn't obey the command of the general, he would really be courting death.

Here Han Dang saw it, urged his horse out of battle, and shouted loudly: "How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife, I will meet you!"

Although this tiger was afraid of Sun Jian, he was good at martial arts. He was cautious at this time, and even fought Han Dang for more than [-] rounds, with neither winner nor loser.

However, after more than [-] rounds, Zhang Hu's strength gradually weakened, while Han Dang became more and more courageous as he fought, and it seemed that Zhang Hu would not be able to hold on anymore.

Chen Sheng, who was by Huang Zu's side, was very loyal, without hesitation, he went to help Zhang Hu with his sword in hand.

"It's really despicable to bully the few with the more!" Sun Ce, who was beside Sun Jian, said dissatisfiedly.

Sun Jian turned his head to look, chuckled, and said, "Jiuwen Gongfu said that our Sun Lang's archery skills are extraordinary. Let me open my father's eyes today."

When Sun Ce heard this, he knew that this was a test from his father. He smiled slightly, pressed down on the spear, took down the bow and arrow, and said, "Let father open his eyes today."

After finishing speaking, Sun Ce pulled the bow and arrow away, and aimed at Chen Sheng who was rushing towards the battlefield. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed, and as soon as he released his hand, the arrow shot towards Chen Sheng like a shooting star.

Hearing a scream, everyone looked into the formation, and it turned out that Sun Ce's sharp arrow hit Chen Sheng's face, and Chen Sheng fell from the horse in response to the string, and he died before he could finish his mission.

Zhang Hu, who was fighting with Han Dang, was startled when he saw Chen Sheng fell to the ground and died, and his movements were unavoidably slow.

Originally, Zhang Hu's martial arts were not as good as Han Dang's, but now he lost his position. Han Dang saw the opportunity, cut off half of his head with his hand, and it seemed that he would not be able to survive.
